In the middle of the arduous task that is the Big Ten wrestling schedule, it seems like a change of pace would be nice. Not many people really understand exactly what Tom Minkel has done, or who the man is. Minkel is in his 24th season as head coach of the Michigan State wrestling team. During his time as head coach, Minkel has produced 37 All-Americans, 13 Big Ten Champions and two NCAA champions. That, is quite the resume for a coach of a Big Ten program.

There are two schools of thought when it comes to wrestling. The old-school guys have been around the block a few times and focus on defense and preventing big points at big times. The new-school kind of coach is more flashy and modern, following in the footsteps of Iowa State wrestling legend Dan Gable. MSU wrestling coach Tom Minkel definitely is an old school kind of coach.

According to ancient lore — and a not-so-ancient film — when the 300 Spartans defended Thermopylae from the Persians, they used past experiences and rough times to give them the strength to push forward. In many of the same ways, this season has been one of ups and downs for the MSU wrestling team. The Spartans went winless in the Big Ten and sent four wrestlers to the NCAA Championships with no All-Americans. Nearly every dual meet had someone that underperformed, and then another in the same meet who outperformed all expectations.

When the MSU wrestling team takes on No. 10 Central Michigan on Friday night, the feeling will be different than anything the team has experienced this season. Aside from the three wrestlers taking part in their final dual on the team, head coach Tom Minkel had a storied career with the Chippewas. He was a three-time all-American, and had an unblemished record in dual meets. Minkel also served on the coaching staff from 1977-1991.

But it’s not the results that are so disappointing, it’s how they’re getting them. Countless times this season the Spartans were looking good, but one pin, one takedown or even one escape lost the momentum, and more importantly, the match.

When it came down to it, MSU wrestling’s 24-13 dual loss to No. 6 Ohio State wasn’t because the Spartans were unprepared, or overmatched, or even just having a bad day. Instead, the dual was lost all in about a three-minute time frame sparked by what head coach Tom Minkel called a “breakdown in discipline.”
